Somaan, 07 Dec 2010Is there handwriting recognition in this phone? and can we put java apps in it?there is an excellent handwriting recognition for this phone. just change your keyboard/qwerty settings:
1. press and hold the EN key and the settings menu will appear
2. press Keyboard Type, select either Writing full screen or Writing box (the latter is best!), and then press Set

you should have realized early enough that the phone is NOT a smartphone, or do you actually know what's the difference between a smartphone per se and a regular phone? the S-GT5253 is the most basic of all the Wave series so why expect a lot of smartphone features from a phone that is not a smartphone to start with? get a life. if you have enough moolah, why not get the most expensive, most featured smartphone in the planet? get it?

Also battery is 3 days for me with normal using, including playing a lot video. U can download youtube video as well. And Picsel Office for Microsoft Document.

Most pathetic phone I have ever experienced in my life. Phone is not smart, the company (Samsung) is very smart to make people fool.
1. There is no useful application available to install like Nokia Ovi Store applications.
2. There is an icon in the phone menu for "You tube", but that's not the application, it's just the link. Not even the installation file available for "you tube" application.
3. No additional widgets are available to install.
4. No Office application available on the Website for Bada OS.
5. 3.5 MM jack in the phone is the standalone. We can only use the Headphones which came along with the set. No other 3.5 pin are supported. Not even we can play it in the music system.
6. Battery backup is pathetic too. If you play video for 30 minutes, it consumes the full battery charge.
7. KIES software takes very long to get installed. Not done in one go. I had to give 7 attempts. Also, it takes very long to recognize the connected phone.

If somebody is interested in buying this phone, please drop me an email to abysek@rediffmail.com and take it from me. Its just 10 days old
